AT for the n54 engine is better than MT

shifts faster than you'll be able to with MT unless you abuse the transmission

and also, with the AT, the car holds boost so you get instant response

this is why AT 335i's have been getting such quick times

also, I remember somewhere that the MT transmission in the 335i can only support a maximum of 400HP, while the AT was rated for much more.

I have the AT; no regrets.
